In Naples a convertible car drives along the seaside boulevard. Inside are Marisol and her friends.

TOUR

Fátima Luzardo Spain
2024 2 min.

A manual for the perfect guide. A collage piece using the narrative technique of found footage, designed to provoke reflection on certain ills of today's world. The discordance between what is said and what is seen produces a strangeness that makes us rethink the images. Somehow, we have grown accustomed to the constant flow of images of horror, which have become commonplace. Placing them in an unusual location forces the viewer to be more active.
